Just got to thinking about this. Grass will be dormant at best, freezing and thawing ground. Its not gonna take long to tear that sod up and become a bowl if its not froze solid.....

Not a bad idea! Works well in pastures!Break out the winter Rye. It'll help hold the field together and stay green throughout. Overseed 2 to 3 times as thick as you would usually do in winter.
It depends a lot on the precipitation deal as well. 2019/20 didn't do a darn thing in the winter but I got a feeling 2020/21 will be a revenge year for that. But on the bright side the past decade and change it's fizzled out by the end of February and things start to slowly warm up baring freak deals (we got 5 inches of snow on Final 4 Saturday in 2018.) I think by the start of the season it will be fine. Temps will start to rise and by April it won't be so cold. The wind will be a pain though.
Ice storms worry me more than snow.
More coaches and schools are gonna be asking for artificial turf ...
Thomasville received two estimates in the last ten years. Both were right at $1 million. Still a significant amount each year for maintenance. A lot of it comes down to where you are and how many activities use the field.It’s at least 400 k

The city of Thomasville owns Cushwa Stadium and invested $37 thousand last year for maintenance. It’s only used for a couple of youth league games per year for the city, and middle school, jv and varsity football. This year, the city schools are paying $15k for rental. previous years, they paid less than $1000 annually.
You do the math. It’s simply not doable for Thomasville, especially since East Davidson is also in the city limits and provides its own facility.
